Anyone else feel like they’re in the middle of a baby boom? I feel like there are a lot of new, little people in my life lately. And — in what I hope is a weird coincidence and not the set-up for some sort of apocalyptic world where the human race dies out — they’re … Continue reading
Do you guys remember how I stupidly dropped my iPhone while reaching for a big block of cheese at Whole Foods? And then — amazingly! — got it perfectly fixed by a sketchy guy in a garage for $85 cash? Dumb move turned into a lucky break, right? Well, in the words of Britney, oops … Continue reading
Are you guys well-versed in peanut butter alternatives? You know, almond butter and soy nut butter and cashew butter and the like? Or, if you’re feeling particularly sassy, cookie butter a/k/a biscoff? (quick side note — that cookie butter is NOT.MESSING.AROUND.) I, frankly, have never strayed far from my tried-and-true Jif peanut butter. Sometimes I’ll … Continue reading
As we discussed a few weeks ago, I am now the proud resident of a Trader Joe’s neighborhood. It’s been a little hard to get into the store sometimes (unless 70-person lines are your idea of fun), but I’ve definitely enjoyed poking around in there and making new discoveries. And I’ve really appreciated all of … Continue reading
As I’ve progressed from my early 20s to those last precious months of being a 20-something, I’ve noticed something — there are baby people, and there are non-baby people.

For my money, Friday night is still the very best part of the week. It was true in 1994 when my parents would pick up Gambino’s pizza and I’d watch TGIF on ABC, and it’s true now, when I typically…make a pizza and watch…whatever’s in my Netflix queue? Sigh. Is that the lamest admission ever? … Continue reading
Where are my fellow four-eyes? I’ve needed glasses/contacts for the last 15 years. My vision is rough, guys. I’m fine with things less than 2 feet away, but trying to read something further away than that (or recognize faces, or watch TV, or god forbid drive…) is a lost cause. And it gets worse and … Continue reading

Guys, it’s been two days, and I still haven’t really gotten over the How I Met Your Mother finale. I need to talk about it, OK? So if you don’t want to know about it (or if you could 100% care less), here’s your last warning to bail. …. …. … Everybody else gone? OK … Continue reading
